A Volume is an object defined on a triangulated Mesh, using the Define Volumes tool on the Cloud/Mesh Tools Tab. Please refer to Dense Surface Modeling / PhotoModeler Premium for information on the Cloud/Mesh creation process. See also Define Volume Mode.
A Volume Object is a 3D triangulated shape over a defined plane, where the triangulated Mesh, on which it is defined, is cut-out and isolated. A copy of this cut-out triangulated Mesh is stored and used to calculate the volume over the defined plane. Volumes are used to measure features like stockpiles (or parts of them).
